Why Are Electric Water Heater Best For Granny Flats?



Adding a granny flat or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to your property is a big decision. One key element is selecting the right water heater to supply hot water efficiently for daily needs and maximize value. As per experts like Same Day Hot Water Service, electric water heater emerge as the top choice for granny flats for several compelling reasons. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages of going electric and how this option optimizes performance and cost-effectiveness.

Compact Size Maximizes Space
Granny flats and ADUs are inherently compact dwellings, so space savings matter. Electric water heaters have the smallest possible footprint versus gas models. Their streamlined, narrow design mounts flush on a wall. This frees up valuable floor area in the tight granny flat for storage, furniture or pet areas. Some electric heaters are even sleeker when you choose a tankless version that eliminates the bulky tank requiring clearance on all sides. Any square footage you can save in a petite granny flat adds up.

Installation and Maintenance Simplicity
Complex installations equal higher costs you want to avoid. Electric water heaters require only basic household electric service to operate. No need to coordinate specialized gas line work or venting. Hookup is as simple as plugging in a pair of power cables. Maintenance is also straightforward, with no burner pilots or gas lines to inspect. Just monitor heating elements and change replaceable anode rods regularly. Simple is best.

Lower Operating Costs
Electricity prices per energy unit are often lower than natural gas. And electric heaters provide hot water without standby energy losses from constantly burning a pilot light.

Tankless electric heaters heat water on demand rather than maintaining a full tank at temperature 24/7. This further increases efficiency and reduces electricity usage.
Electric water heating makes the most sense cost-wise in a compact, occasional use granny flat, especially with an energy-conscious tankless design.

Customizable Temperature and Pressure
Granny flats may be occupied by seniors or young children with hot water needs different from the main residence. Electric heaters allow independently customizing your water temperature and pressure. Keep temperatures lower to save power. Or increase for shower safety or sterilization needs. Match pressure to special low-flow fixtures. Electric models give you granular control over these variables.

Quiet Operation
Flames roaring in a gas heater create audible operating noise which can disturb light sleepers in close quarters. Electric heaters have no moving parts and are virtually silent. This additional peace and quiet is a bonus perk perfect for granny flat living.

Safety and Cleanliness
Gas models present a slight ongoing risk of fire or carbon monoxide leaks if not properly maintained. You can eliminate safety concerns with electric. They also avoid venting combustion byproducts into your home's air. Keep the granny flat clear of any lingering noxious gas smells.

Durability and Longevity
Electric water heaters last 10-15 years on average. Though not as long as some gas types, properly maintained electric models will still deliver reliable hot water for many years before needing replacement. You can recoup the lower upfront cost through electricity savings over time. Durability keeps costs low.

Electric Water Heaters Check All the Boxes
Whether building new or remodeling an existing structure into a granny flat, selecting the right water heater is a key decision. Electric models uniquely fit the needs of accessory dwellings.

Their compact size, affordability, low maintenance, safety, efficiency, custom controls, quietness and durability add up to the ideal hot water solution. Go electric to make the most of your cozy new granny flat.
